Need of Organization j& By a Local Fruit Grower
Any one coming Into conlnct with
strangers on their nrrlvnl In Medford
nre invariably nsked, "Have you no or
ganization for soiling your fruit."
At the present tlino the best wo can
do Is to hope for one In the near future.
A strong organization for packing nnd
selling would bo the biggest ml this val
ley has ever lind, nnd by Its obtaining
better prices for our fruit do moro to
enhance values than any other one
thing, Under present conditions wo uro

might havo state malingers under their

Oijo thing Is certain, the matter lies en
tirely in our own hands. An organiza

prices of apples In tho United States.
It could also arrange for prccoollng
stations, for, having representatives of
their own at all tho loins plants to sco
that tho cars were properly Iced, and
the entire cost of all this supervision
would not amount to one cent per box,
while It would mean from SO cents to

nl'owed us by the commission men.
